I've got to go have something to eat. It's 12:47 pm here and I haven't eaten anything all morning. I now have a pounding headache as a result.

Later.

1. I live in my own little world but it's OK, everyone knows me here.

2. I don't do drugs 'cause I find I get the same effect just by standing up really fast.

3. Money can't buy happiness but it sure makes misery easier to live with.

4. I don't approve of political jokes. I've seen too many of them get elected.

5. The most precious thing we have is life, yet it has absolutely no Trade-in value.

6. If life deals you lemons, make lemonade; if it deals you tomatoes, make Bloody Marys.

7. I am a nobody, nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.

8. Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.

9. How long a minute is, depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on.

10. Why is it that most nudists are people you don't want to see naked?

I can add on to that list, at least for me:

11. I have finally achieved a true milestone in life: I'm halfway to being an idiot savant.

A story.

I was living in North London... sharing a house with various people. Met up with one of them, on the way back from work, both in suits, one rather hot summer day. Decided that we'd stop in at the pub.

We could neither of us make up our mind what we wanted to drink. We decided we'd see which of us could drink the most "Barley Wine". These are strong ales, not wines at all. They come in 1/3rd pint bottles. They are typically 12% ABV (alcohol by volume). I think he drank eight, and I beat him by drinking a ninth.

We then went back to the house and started smoking (yes - that does mean what you think). After a bit, he disappeared off, and I moved a three-seater sofa from upstairs, down two flights, out, around and further down into the basement. It was fun.

It turned out he'd ensconced himself in the toilet. He was throwing up. I also wished to throw up, but he was in the loo. I talked to him through the door, for a few hours. I woke up the next morning still outside the loo door. I think he'd crept past me to go to bed.

Not in my experience.

A shingle beach is covered in pebbles.

It is similar to a cobble beach, but different, like so many things in the world: so similar, but also different.
I don't know the geological processes that produce shingle beaches.

They apparently exist in the US. I've walked much of the New England coastline from Cape Cod to Machias, ME,
and I have never walked on a shingle beach that I can remember, but maybe I have and didn't realize it.

The North Shore of Long Island is very pebbly whereas the South Shore and Fire Island are quite sandy.

I love it. Even though it took me quite a long minute to get it. Have you got anything new in your blog?
I enjoy reading what you write. Do you lose ownership of it once you contribute it to WP? I have somethings I'd like to post, but I don't want to hand them over to WP's ownership.

That is the funniest damn story I ever heard. I did laugh out loud and don't need an emoticon to prove it.

Now that might save a few fingers. What kind of a place do you work in?

I have no personal experience, but one of my daughters and her husband gave it a try. She was quite pregnant. What seems so funny to me is, that while at the colony they went to a community type dinner where everyone had to bring a covered dish.

Please pass the baked beans. Thank you. I'll have some of that potato salad if you don't mind.
